Here's what I've planned: There will be at least 5 prizes for best-of-category.
Other than the grand prize, which is a best-of-show, the other prizes will be
small-to-medium Lego sets from the "treasure chest." It's possible that special
awards will be merited in newly-created categories.
Surveying the past efforts in Ancient Theme, I saw two main ways to categorize
them... First: you can try to use type-of-model categories (and it's possible
for a model to fit well in more than one.) I set the categories for this contest
to suggest directions for builders to go in. Second: you can divide it all up
into cultural categories, for example Erik Wilson awarded a "Best Egyptian Theme
Entry". This makes for lumpy categories, but would be useful for an index to
what's been done already. Other schemes could be time period, or geographical
location, which are less essential attributes.
My plan for the website is to make an indexed catalog, where you can approach it
from any of these schemes. It will have about 2 dozen entries right now.
For geography, I've made a map experiment online at
http://www.ancient-theme.com/map
(works with IE 4 or Netscape 4)
Someone suggested a category for showing historical events (as opposed to just
generic scenes.) I thought it was a good idea and it could be a special award.
It's hard to pack a story into one model--though some great painters have
succeeded. So, this suggests a serial-art (that means: comic book panels)
approach.
